Mexico City one week ago.

There is something appealing about being nothing. You can stay in the shadows all night long and no one even pays attention to you. she leaned against the wall in the darkest section of the park and watched the street vendors fold up their tables and put away their goods for the night.


It was like this every night, the mariachi's chasing cars to sing songs for lovers.
Lovers, she thought. there was no such thing for her type. She tried not to think about that too much. too many times she had tried to be the perfect companion, but it always ended up bad. the thirst was too great to ignor. she felt herself melt into the shadows until she was darkness itself.
That was the way she liked it. to be nothing more than a shadow and all around her people shopping, people walking down dark treeless streets. Eating, drinking, dancing. Watching the mimes do their act on the corner.
It was bliss.

Everyone going about their business and ignoring the homeless, sleeping on the sidewalk. ignoring the shadows until it was too late. She could have her pick. That macho looking man over by the taco stand. the woman looking at the jewelry. The child begging for peso's. he was a dirty little boy with bare feet. he would be handsome if he grew up, but he prolly wouldn't make it that far.

She watched him coming closer. almost close enough to snatch. she could have him, she could have any of them if she really wanted. But she would wait for the perfect prey to show itself. innocent blood had its taste. She wanted something else. Something you could only find in the heart of a corrupt city.

(Giggles... would like to torment finn :twisted: sounds like fun. :::takes practice swings with her swatty ping pong paddle.)

(Jiya porter, ::::blows him a kiss:::: 8) )

She stayed in the shadows and longed to follow the boy.But he was to smart to come that close to her. he fears the dark like all good little children. she thought.

What was he up to?

He stood behind a tourest. waiting, watching. lokking first to the right then to the left. and at last he took one quick glance over his shoulder. He was a bold little guy with quick fingers. Without a single pause he had lifted the man's wallet and started off down the street.

He did it.
He actualy picked the pocket right in front of me. Adrianna was impressed.

She smiled.
It wasn't much of a smile.

Not anything like the smiles she had given to men her whole life while working those sleezy clubs. She shuddered at the thought of their greasy fingers trying to get more than their lap dance entitled them. And calmly putting the little pervs in their place. She would smile and make them feel good about sitting on their hands.

No this was a real smile. The kind you get when you feel so happy you can't help but let it show and it felt good.

Like some part of her had woken up and felt a little less like being submerged in the deep end of the abyss.

humantity had been like that, she thought. a savoury breif joy from a memoryof living. At that moment she was sure her heart had actualy beat one loud stroke. Obtenebration faded, and a girl shrouded in a black dress stood on the side walk in the darkest part of the park.

There was a scream that tore at the night.
the panic spread in the market place like a fire.

One man knocked over his table spilling his hand crafted works all over ths street shattering them to pieces.
A woman fell to her knees and made the cross over herself, right before being trampled by everyone running for their lives.

There was no place to go, no place to hide. she was stuck in the middle of a panicked humanity. The shadowy abyss that had hid her moments ago had drained her vitae and left her hurting.

She was not herself. more beast than the vamp she use to be. her body moved as if on springs and she lashed at the first pulsating vain in reach.

One man.
Unmovable.
stood with his back to her,
but before she could strike, he turned and held up a cross stopping the beast dead.

Adrianna felt her self fall.
She hit the pavement face first and her body froze as if in instint torpor.

"the faith in the lord compels you child."

"Lay still and nothing bad will happen to you" she heard a whisper near her ear.
Then all went black... :shock:

(more to follow... It's been a long time :P hope this coming out ok..)

It was a small room with a single bed and a candle burning on a wall stand. There was no dresser, no mirror, and no windows. only a hard wooden door set into the rough stone wall.

How long have I been here?
Naked.
Alone.
I should be hungry.
Hungry was the last thing I remember. Why do I feel like I fed?

She crossed her arms over her chest and massaged her own shoulders. Her skin felt cool to touch. She could never get use to that. No matter how smooth her skin felt it never felt like the skin of someone alive.
It was disgusting. cold and hard, milky white. She closed her eyes tight and tried to remember what it felt like to be alive. to feel air fill your lungs, to hear the beat of a heart in your ears.
her body was silent.
She was dead.

I'm not suppose to feel anything anymore.
Yet she could feel everything so deeply.

Adrianna found herself looking at the rafters over her head. She sat up and pushed back the blankets. They were useless afterall. you need body heat to warm a bed.

There was a knock and the door swung open. Framed by the door, an old nun stood looking at Adrianna. "Its about time you wake up."
The nun walked into the room carrying a habit just like the one she was wearing. "I'm to help you put this on and escort you to dinner."

Dinner? Vampires don't eat.

"Call it what you want child, you will go with me to vespers and to dinner in the common room. now put this on" The old nun offered the habit to Adrianna.

"hold on a sec, for starters, where I'm I? and maybe i don't want to go with you."
"Don't think me so easy child. You are the guess of Father Miguel.You will do well to remember that. Now do as I say and this will all go easier for you.

(Soory can't write no more falling asleep. Will write more tomorrow :P )

((Antonio Banderas? tee hee :oops:

Nah, I'm half mexican but I'm still dirty-blonde and pale like shit...seriously, I loathe the sun, I could never ever get a tan, plus I got sensitive-gay skin. I have been told I kinda look like that James Van Der whatever from Dawson's a Geek....

Anyone seen Gilmore Girls? Well, Alexis Bledel a.k.a. Rory (HOTTTT), is also half-mexican...she's actually mexican-argentinean, only born in the US... see? we latin folk can actually blend in with the blonde and fair skinned, mwuahahah

And Charlize Theron's from South Africa... cliche's arent always true!

The unlit hall was a comfort.

...My god what would people think if they saw me like this... The habit fit well enough but the whole hat/vail thingy was annoying.
"Ah hem...so tell me again why I have to dress this way?"

"All will be explained soon enough child." said the old nun. She was walking a few paces in front of Adrianna down the dark hall. Adrianna could see a light spilling into the hall from one of the side chambers. There was soft church music echoing down the hall and as they drew closer to the opening, she became sure it was coming from that room. They reached the lit door way and the old nun gestured for Adrianna to enter.

The room was the main dinning hall with one really long table set in its center. The light came from the candles set on the table. It wasn't much light really, but it was enough for Adrianna to see that a man was sitting at the far end of the table.

The man's head was bend low as if he were in the act of praying. The old nun approached him and whispered in his ear then she left the room by a different exit.

The man looked up and rested his eyes on Adrianna. "I'm Father miguel, my child. This is the chaple of the last chance. and for you my dear, we may very well be your last chance."

"Last Chance?"

"Don't look so suprised child. and i think it is right to call you child, though you have the powers of an elder for our clan, your blood is still young... Tell me... how did you learn to call upon the abyss and do not lie for I will know a childer such as you should not have this power yet."

(more tomorrow)
